Two 45º elbows may be used in place of one 90º elbow. On

45º runs, one foot of diagonal is equal to 8-1/2 in. (216 mm)

horizontal run and 8-1/2 in. (216 mm) vertical run. A length

of straight pipe is allowed between two 45º elbows. See

Figure 4.4.

E. Measuring Standards

Vertical and horizontal measurements listed in the vent

diagrams were made using the following standards:

• Pipe measurements are shown using the effective length of

pipe. See Figure 11.1 for SLP for information on effective

length of pipe components.

• Horizontal terminations are measured to the outside

mounting surface (ange of termination cap) (see Figure

4.3).

• Vertical terminations are measured to bottom of

termination cap.

• Horizontal pipe installed level with 1/4 inch rise per foot.

General Rules:

• SUBTRACT 3 ft. from the total H measurement for each

90º elbow installed horizontally.

• SUBTRACT 1 ft. from the total H measurement for each

45º elbow installed horizontally.

• A maximum of three 90º elbows (or six 45º elbows) may

be used in any vent conguration. Some elbows may be

installed horizontally. See specic vent diagrams.

• When penetrating a combustible wall, a wall shield restop

must be installed.

• When penetrating a combustible ceiling, a ceiling restop

must be installed.

Class A Metal Chimney

Prior to installing the gas stove, ensure that the existing

chimney is functionally sound and clean.

• Have the chimney and adjacent structure inspected

and cleaned by qualied professionals. Hearth & Home

Technologies recommends that NFI or CSIA certied

professionals, or technicians under the direction of

certied professionals, conduct a minimum of a NFPA

211 Level 2 inspection of the chimney.

• Replace component parts of the chimney and replace

as specied by the professionals.

• See section 11 for venting components

5. Pull the flex pipe down through the ceiling support box,

until it protrudes approximately 3 in. (76mm). Connect

the flex pipe to the retro connector, and attach with sheet

metal screws.

6. Push the flex pipe back up into the ceiling support box,

center the retro connector, and attach it to the support

box with sheet metal screws.

7. The connection between the appliance and the retro

connector may be completed with sections of direct vent

pipe.

1. Remove existing chimney cap.

2. Measure the distance from the top of the chimney to the

bottom of the ceiling support box, add 3 in. (76mm) to

this measurement, and cut a section of 4 in. (101mm)

flex pipe to that length (the flex should be fully extended).

3. Connect the end of the flex pipe section to the underside

of the top adapter, using four sheet metal screws. See

Figure 4.14.

4. Pass the flex pipe down through the center of the

chimney system, and center the top adapter on the top

of the chimney pipe. Drill four 1/8 in. (3mm) diameter

holes through the top adapter, and into the chimney top,

preferably from the side of the top adapter. Ensure that

you are drilling into the metal on the chimney. Twist lock

the high wind termination cap onto the top adapter. See

Figure 4.15 and Figure 4.16.
